2. 1. Noticing nature : exploring more-than-human-centred design in urban farming

   Author : Anton Poikolainen Rosén; Maria Normark; Mikael Wiberg; Ron Wakkary; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Human-Computer Interaction; Sustainability; Posthumanism; Urban farming; design; design; human-computer interaction; människa-datorinteraktion;

   Abstract : This thesis articulates, theorises and furthers the concept of “more-than-human-centred design” by studying the use and design of technology for noticing nature and caring for nature. The emerging field of more-than-human-centred design focuses on the mutual interdependence between humans and non-humans (e.g. READ MORE

4. 2. Self Lubrication on the Atomic Scale : Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Coatings

   Author : Mattias Lindquist; Sture Hogmark; Urban Wiklund; Ian Hutchings; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Materials science; Tribology; low friction; PVD; sputtering; nanocomposite; Materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : In this thesis a new design concept of tribologically active coatings aimed for low friction applications, have been explored. Materials modeled by ab initio DFT calculations were realized through deposition of carbide and nanocomposite coatings by DC-magnetron sputtering. READ MORE

5. 3. Engaging in Urban Living Lab Co-design

   Author : Esbjörn Ebbesson; Vaike Fors; Jesper Lund; Johan Lundin; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Urban Living Labs; Participatory Design; CoDesign;

   Abstract : Urban Living Labs (ULL) have become a common way to address wicked design challenges within the future mobility, and smart city context. The move toward ULL is part of a paradigm shift away from focusing purely on the IT-artifact, innovation, and user-centeredness toward focusing on the urban context and the construction of a place as a social context rather than implementation of a product or service in isolation.

6. 4. CVD Growth of Silicon Carbide for High Frequency Applications

   Author : Urban Forsberg; Erik Janzén; Anne Henry; Christian Brylinski; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Material physics with surface physics; Materialfysik med ytfysik;

   Abstract : Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an important wide band gap semiconductor with outstanding electronic properties. With figures of merit far better than silicon, SiC is believed to replace and outcompete silicon in many applications using high frequencies, high voltage and high temperatures. READ MORE

7. 5. Piezoactuators for Miniature Robots

   Author : Urban Simu; Jean-Marc Breguet; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; English; engelska;

   Abstract : Challenges in the realisation of a miniature robot are both to handle the complexity of such a system, and to cope with effects of the actual reduction in physical size of all the parts. In particular, the mechanisms for locomotion have to be analysed. READ MORE
